About this listen
Based on the theme ‘The Art of Listening’, the fifth year of the Jane Austen Literacy Foundation short story writing competition attracted a record number of entries.
Three finalist stories were chosen by the special Jane Austen Literacy Foundation judging panel including Caroline Jane Knight (Jane Austen’s fifth great niece and the Founder of the Jane Austen Literacy Foundation), Susannah Harker (Jane Bennet, BBC Television Pride & Prejudice 1995) and Natalie Jenner (International bestselling author of The Jane Austen Society) and published online for a public vote to choose the winner.
The winning story, The Dawn Chorus by Ann Evans, is a beautifully written story of a woman who finds solace in the company of garden birds, while her ‘long-faced misery of a husband’ remains distant from her world of simple joys. The House Next Door by Terry Kerins is a poignant story with an unexpected twist and The Tram Stop by Scott Santarossa, reminds us of the excitement and angst of teenage love.
Read by the award winning narrator of The Complete Novels of Jane Austen and Jane Austen Literacy Foundation Ambassador, Alison Larkin.
